À propos de cet audio
It's 1934. Businesses went under by the hundreds, debt and foreclosures boomed, and breadlines grew in many American cities. In the midst of this misery, some folks explored unscrupulous ways to make money. Angel-faced John Partlow and carnival huckster Ginger LaFrance are among the worst of this lot. Joining together they leave their small-time confidence scams behind to attempt an elaborate kidnapping-for-ransom scheme in New Orleans.
In a different part of town, Curtis Mayhew, a young black man who works as a redcap for the Union Railroad Station, has a reputation for mending quarrels and misunderstandings among his friends. What those friends don't know is that Curtis has a special talent for listening...and he can sometimes hear things that aren't spoken aloud.
One day, Curtis Mayhew's special talent allows him to overhear a child's cry for help (THIS MAN IN THE CAR HE'S GOT A GUN), which draws him into the dangerous world of Partlow and LaFrance.
This gritty Depression-era crime thriller is a complex tale enriched by powerfully observed social commentary and hints of the supernatural, and it represents Robert McCammon writing at the very top of his game.

uneasy
Oh my gosh. This has to be one of the most creepingly upsetting things I've ever read. I'm not exaggerating. From the first chapter, I felt sick and uncomfortable, and it only got worse from there.
The villains are legitimately scary. They're not boogeymen, they're not comically bad, they're horribly realistic, an all too human evil. So much so that my jaw felt tight with stress and I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep reading. But I did.
I gave this a second listen at work tonight. It still brought on that sick feeling, all the way through. Sociopaths, violent racism, kidnapping, oh my. The tension was relentless. The hero steals your heart immediately, and you badly, badly want everything to be alright in the end.

Unexpectedly violent
I normally love McCammon's novels, and often use Audible books to help me sleep. But there's something nightmarish about this book that prevented a good night's sleep, and gave me nightmares when I briefly slept. The better test of this book would be to listen while I'm awake.
